I'm an information magpie with a short attention span; hence, I'm a consultant working with communities and cultural institutions around the country. Although I have a tendency to fall into my computer and no one would mistake me for a natural athlete, I love to ski and sail. Most of all, I like learning from other people through sharing food, conversation and exploration.

My girlfriend and I were in need for some well earned rest and relaxation. The cottage was the perfect location for what we were looking for and then some. The wonderful views, fireplace, peace and quite made this our new oasis in WI to recharge. We would certainly recommend it and are looking forward to our next trip!

A few girlfriends and I took a little winter get away trip and stayed here for a few nights and it was great. Lovely kitchen to cook in, beautiful view of the lake and a wonderful fireplace. We mostly stayed in the cabin, but one day we did venture into Sturgeon Bay for Yoga and a massage followed by dinner at a 156. All and all we had a great stay and are really glad we stayed here!

Your home is lovely and provided beautiful views of the lake even though currently frozen , it was fun to watch the ice fishing activities and soft snow falling from the living room windows. We enjoyed the fireplace and cozy leather couch. The kitchen provides everything one would need and a breakfast supplied by the host was nice. There is a queen sized bed in 1 of the bedrooms and a smaller bed in the 2nd room which really would not fit 2 adults comfortably, more fitted for children. The neighborhood is beautiful with a mix of lovely big homes and smaller cottages, it felt safe as we went for our evening walk. It's close to Potawatomi state park and only a few miles outside of sturgeon Bay, we would ride books to town in warmer weather. A perfect location to stay for warm weather water activities also. It's an open concept home with a lot of windows and no mini-blinds or curtains which I would of preferred personally for the bedroom. We did not get to meet the host as they were traveling but her correspondence was very friendly and thorough. I would recommend this home for all the above reasons and the price was great for a whole house that welcomes pets!

Great cabin on the lake. The photos do not do it justice!!! Stayed in the winter- which had great views of the lake and sunrise. I plan to return in the spring/summer to enjoy the water access! The breakfast items provided for us was a wonderful perk!!!

The cottage was wonderful -- beautiful, well appointed, spacious and cozy at the same time. We loved watching the sunsets over the water, building fires in the fireplace, and seeing stars and the moonlit bay through the glass doors in the bedrooms. The location is quiet and peaceful yet accessible to Sturgeon Bay and the rest of the peninsula. We would love to come back.

We loved "our" cabin retreat - our second year returning. The weather was drastically different this year, but the views out the window were just as spectacular, and the fireplace and amenities were perfect. We appreciated being able to watch the Packer game (Go Pack!) and some movies on the new TV & DVD. Breakfast fixings were nice too. We'll be back!

We had such a nice weekend getaway at Elaine's cottage! The space was cozy and clean with tons of windows throughout, providing a fantastic view of the lake from every room. The fireplace is great as well!
Elaine really made us feel welcome by providing detailed arrival information and stocking the fridge with breakfast items for us. That was a really nice touch.
It's also really great that the cottage is pet-friendly so we were able to bring our dog with us. He enjoyed the trip, too!
Would certainly recommend Elaine's cottage, and will keep it in mind for future Door County visits.

Elaine's cabin was wonderful. The beds were comfortable, the entire cabin was spotless, and the fridge was stocked with breakfast foods and condiments! The location is great for a weekend away from the world. The fireplace was also a great feature as we visited in early November.

Reviews From Hosts

Elaine was a terrific guest--very clean, courteous, and thoughtful. She kept my apartment impeccably, and from the notes we have exchanged, seems a person with a good sense of humor and an appreciation for culture. She is welcome back at any time, with great pleasure!
